Gifts from the bank

This is the last post of the "packing" series. (click on the label below for the earlier posts)

When I was in France, I used the bank Crédit Agricole. It wasn't really a choice of mine...we were brought to that bank to open our accounts when we first arrived in France. And I just continued using it...even after I moved to Lyon and had to change to another caisse régionale (regional branch; somehow the same banks in different regions are somewhat independent from each other -_- )

Each time I opened an account, I received a card holder.

right: from Lyon, in the Centre-Est region

I never used either of them...since I keep my cards in my wallet and it would be a bother to carry around another card case. But I kept them in a drawer "just in case" (that's the pack rat's motto, in case you don't know :P ) they would come in useful someday...

As of the other items I posted about, I decided not to bring them back to Malaysia. And now I'm kinda regretting my decision...the would be useful for stuffing some name cards right now...

Oh well. I can't get them back anyway.

(Psst...what's more the black one was of a velvety texture...and I love velvety textures. lol)
